Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH) is finding it hard to recruit vital nursing staff

Addenbrooke’s bosses say they are “constantly paddling against the tide” when it comes to recruiting more nurses.

Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH), which runs Addenbrooke’s and the Rosie hospitals, currently offers a £1,000 subsidy to band 5 and 6 nurses moving to Cambridge as one of its recruitment incentives and the option of a loan to help with moving costs.

Water main burst partly closes Cambridge road

The left-hand lane at the junction of Lensfield Road and Regent Street in Cambridge has been closed this morning while repairs are carried out to the road surface following a burst water main.

Cambridge Water say: “Motorists will still be able to turn left at the junction but are being advised to seek alternative routes where possible. Cambridge Water carried out emergency repairs to fix the burst main opposite the Catholic Church in the early hours of Sunday morning. The roadway is being reinstated this morning.

“We would like to apologise to residents, businesses and motorists for the inconvenience caused as a result of this burst water main. We are working to resurface the road as quickly as we can and advise motorists to seek alternative routes where possible.”
